I dunno if this helps but Thumb and I have slowed down a lot on card buying. I have bought one case and one JR Smith in about the last 5 months and sold off everything that is not PC. I think Thumb has been selling off his cards too as he looks to buy a home with his wife.
I have noticed that a lot of Aussies have slowed down with their card hobby... My theory is that many of us were broke back in the day (as kids) when we first got into the hobby. A pack of 92-93 UD after school was gods gift. We then reentered the hobby as cashed up adults and most of us probably spent a lot more than we intended. Slowly but surely, life has got in the way for many of us and we are starting to pull back a bit.
I will still come and snoop around here and so will Thumb no doubt as there's some good blokes here, but it's not quite the same when I'm not an ebay addict lol I do spend a bit of time at other forums, but these mostly betting forums (my other hobby lol).
yeah I still come in here every now and then but like Wayne said it's not the same now that I'm not actively buying up cards like I used to.
I am in here just about every day checking out whats going on but moreso as a lurker than a poster cos I don't have as much to add as I used to
